Biography

Scott Jeffries grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, lives and works in South Florida. He earned a BA degree a Law school from the University of Pittsburgh. He continued to paint while practicing law and developed his unique, unmistakable style which is inspired by street art movement of New York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh.

Scott developed a studio practice with techniques of abstracted imagery, shapes, color in an expressive brushstrokes approach. His subjects include trees transformed into wisps of color; bodies simplified into shapes; fish turned into loud, neon personalities, faces, and splashes of primary color. His recent mature style allowed him more freedom to explore a fresh perspective of the world.

Scott is the current resident artist at the Out Back Gallery and studio in South Florida.  He also serves on the Board of Directors of the No More Starving Artist Foundation whose mission is to improve the legacies art all artist in Palm Beach County Florida.
